    Chimichanga
    Jazlyn B.

    good food. TERRIBLE SERVICE. went here with a friend and split the bill. She left over a $5 tip when the entire order was about $20-25. Transaction went from 13.32 to 19.32 because server named Kevin wrote own tip and stole my money. store refused to issue a refund unless I came into the restaurant which is 2 hours away. I was visiting family. Don't go here unless you want robbed! Chimichanga was good but not worth almost $20.

    Arros con Pollo

    I door-dashed El Meson for lunch yesterday. I've lived here a decade and this was my first time trying this place. I wasn't disappointed. As always-pros and cons or my experience. Pros: -Both the chicken and rice were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I was a bit worried bc it was delivery and it had been covered but both were perfect. -The cheese sauce over the chicken and rice was delicious. -The tortillas were soft, warm, and delicious. -Tried the chips and salsa too-very good. Cons: -I would've like a smidge more cheese sauce -I would've liked that to-go tray to have been full-but that's just me being greedy. -when ordering online, the menu just says "tortillas" doesn't say how many. I didn't know if o was getting two or ten.

    Part of David's Special

    I had David's Special. I want to give this more stars, but I just can't because the food was cold. I had to reheat what I could. The chicken taquito was delicious, as well at the beef taco and chicken burrito! For $15, the David Special is worth it and can easily be shared. Chilli relleno was better than some in town, but needed to be hotter. Free chips and salsa is a bonus! Beans and rice were just ok. I'm glad they are delivering during these hard times, but was still bummed about the flavors.

    This is one of our favorite authentic Mexican restaurants. The staff are super. The salsa is delicious & their chicken fajitas (add mushrooms!) are some of the best!

    Good quality authentic Mexican food. I got the "David's dinner" which is basically a sampler, with one of each of their most common items. Favorite out of everything was the Chile poblano. Only gripe I had was that their ground beef for the taco and burrito didn't seem like it had any seasoning, but was okay nonetheless. Definitely recommend. I can almost always finish my plate but I almost think this is impossible

I LOVED the restaurant that occupied that space years ago, Adelino's, but it was a totally different type of cuisine, so I didn't go into it comparing the two. The ambiance was great. I loved the way they'd revamped and utilized the space. Our server was attentive initially, but after we'd put in an order for an appetizer and told her we needed a minute to look things over, it took forever for her to come back to take our orders. We didn't see her much after that either. The food wasn't worth the price in my opinion. The queso dip was good, but I feel like you should get more than you do for $10. My boyfriend loved the cheesy birria tacos, but I was less happy with mine. The meat in my tacos was barely lukewarm when they got to the table, which was weird to me; even when I get shrimp tacos elsewhere (when the shrimp isn't fried), the shrimp is at least warm. The fish taco was better than the shrimp taco, but you can get far superior tacos for cheaper at other restaurants around town. We both ordered a Paloma and found them to be very tequila forward and not as effervescent as they should have been; we were expecting carbonation but couldn't taste any bubbles (and barely any grapefruit) at all. I enjoyed it more than he did though. Overall, we're pretty sure Nom Nom is a one and done for us, which is a shame, because we'd heard great things and went into it with high expectations. But for almost $80, the food and service we received just weren't up to par.

    What a find!!! My family loved our visit to Riviera Maya Lafayette!! We were traveling from…read moreAppleton, Wi to North Carolina and wanted to find a nice place for a fun meal before stopping for the evening. Normally I list the positives and negatives, but I really didn't have anything negative to say. Ambiance - one word... FUN!!! It's well decorated and just a lively atmosphere. Bright lights but also decor of a Mexican temple. They had fun, vibrant almost Latin Club music playing so it was upbeat and lively. Service - the service was great. I had seen some reviews complaining but we had nothing to complain about. On a Saturday night at 7:30 we were seated immediately. The waiter took drink orders, came back to get food orders, and checked on us throughout our visit. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Food - probably some of the best Mexican food I've had!! The chips. - nice and thick and crisp. Could have used more salt but I know many places allow people to salt to their own taste. Homemade Hot Sauce - great flavor and a good amount of heat. I really enjoyed it. Ribeye Tacos - delicious. The onions and jalapeños were cooked perfectly. Even the rice was some of the best I had. Highly recommend putting some of the house hot sauce on it. Pastor street tacos - another delicious dish. The combination of the pastor and pineapples with cilantro and onion was perfect. Fajita Salad - had a bite of my daughter's food and it too was good. A good combination of vegetables and meat that I would consider for next time. Overall I would love to stop back here another time if I'm passing through Lafayette. If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend you do!!
